Beauty Preps Before Concert

I am closed to celebrating the month God let Fienness Mendoza walked through my door one Spring day. Looking back at it, I'm not sure if it was fate or destiny bringing a horrendously young artist with lots and lots of mood swings I can't nearly  handle. And yet, this feisty juvenile bites back accusing me of "impatience."

Whoever and whatever the purpose of this funny and sometimes emotionally charged relationship with a lot of head buttings, it is beyond me to comprehend. But despite our many disagreements and an incredible stubbornness reminiscent of my youth, both sides persevere. Sometimes our disagreement will prompt much needed referee by her guardians because it's closer below the belt. Did I not wrote a blog before about me asking her to be nicer which she retorted about it being "kind of weird?"

So the animosity and bitter differences between being with the  young and being with a too old to play along is a sure recipe for mood swings let alone her incredible weapon of giving you a cold shoulder. It is classic fienness mendoza style yet I never let go of my desire to support her, not yet. I'm not sure if this belief can stay longer now that she knows the word "pangit" which is a serious development. One utterance too many of this word is a provocation.

But actually, we laughed a lot. It's  when the world becomes so topsy-turvy that made our day. Fienness is still that young girl with enormous talent. A talent that can hardly be ignored. It is piercing like an elongated ping from an old transistor radio that doesn't stop. But it is lovely and intense.

Fienness may have regretted actually knowing me because I truly pushed people and hammer the issues repeatedly to get the result I wanted. It's like having last Saturday's benefit concert. Aside from preparing for her set. I also need to know who is doing her make up. How she looks is really crucial on her performances and there is no one I can trust doing her make up except Candace Mallari-David of Pinta. There was a problem, though, she wasn't available that day except coming early to her house before the concert.

And so mom and Fienness was dropped off early by dad for the make up. Watching her videos, the first to be noticed is how elegant Fienness  was wearing her make up. Everything was just right, perfect and beautiful. or so I thought before the long face started appearing again.

No worries...it's part of the demands of a music artist like this one. I don't trust her until she delivers and she did leaving a mark of  elegance and her vocals....unmistakably beautiful.
